App Description

Mbira is an ancient musical instrument that has been played by the Shona people of Zimbabwe. Its most important function is as a tool to communicate with the ancestor spirits at religious ceremonies and social events.
MbiraSS recreates the original beautiful and clear sound by removing the bottle caps and shells that are often affixed to the soundboard to make a buzzing sound.
Enjoy playing the mystical music instrument on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad!
